How to Plan the Perfect Party
Planning an event can sometimes feel a bit overwhelming, especially if it is your first time hosting a large group of friends and family. However, with the right preparation and a good support team behind you, it can also be an incredibly rewarding experience. Our goal is to take the stress away so you can focus entirely on enjoying the celebration. We have put together a short guide to walk you through the most important steps of putting a great night together. Whether you are arranging a small afternoon tea or a massive evening disco, having a clear plan is the secret to success. Here are some simple tips to help you organise a spectacular celebration at our venue without any hassle.
Book Your Date Early
Our function rooms are very popular, especially on weekends and during the summer months when wedding receptions and major birthdays are in high demand. We highly recommend booking your date as early as possible to avoid disappointment. Once you have a specific weekend in mind, reach out to our events team to place a hold on the room. Securing your venue first makes all the other planning steps much easier. It gives you a confirmed location to print on your invitations and lets you start booking external suppliers like caterers or entertainers with total confidence. Plus, giving your guests plenty of notice means more of your loved ones will be able to attend and celebrate with you on your big day.
Set a Clear Budget
Decide how much you want to spend on the venue, food, and entertainment before you start booking. Establishing a financial plan early on prevents you from overspending and keeps your stress levels low. We suggest making a list of your top priorities for the night. If incredible food is your main focus, you can dedicate more funds to a three course meal and save money on decorations. If you just want a huge party, you might focus your budget on hiring an amazing band and keeping the buffet simple. Our team will happily talk you through our transparent pricing so you know exactly what to expect. We pride ourselves on offering options for every budget and will never push you into hidden fees or unexpected costs.
Planned to your needs
Personalise the Room
Make the space your own by adding decorations that reflect your personality or the theme of your celebration. Bring balloons, banners, table centrepieces, and photo boards to bring the room to life. Personal touches make the room feel incredibly special and create great talking points for all your guests as they arrive. For milestone birthdays, a collage of childhood photos always gets people laughing and sharing stories. If you are celebrating an anniversary, elegant floral arrangements on the tables can completely transform the atmosphere. Our function rooms are designed with neutral colours, giving you a beautiful blank canvas to work with. We encourage you to get creative and we are more than happy to help you set up your displays before the party begins.
Organise Great Entertainment
Music is essential for evening parties and sets the mood for the entire celebration. Hire a fantastic DJ or a live band to keep your guests totally entertained and ensure the dancefloor stays full all night long. A good entertainer will know how to read the crowd and play songs that appeal to all ages. If you are hosting a daytime event like a baby shower or a christening, a simple playlist of your favourite songs works perfectly to create a relaxed background atmosphere. We have excellent sound systems available for you to connect your own devices if you prefer to take control of the music. Additionally, you might want to consider extra fun activities like hiring a photobooth or a close up magician to amaze your guests.
